This Darling Little Book

Arriving home I’m all alone And feeling rather low For as I open up my door Feelings of loneliness Permeate my soul All around me this and that Though I don’t take it in But wait now what on earth is that Upon my ‘Welcome’ mat A package from abroad Sent from you To me with love All negativity gone As I open up your package My soul begins to sing a song For inside there is love Wrapped up inside a book I open it so gently As I take the longest look At such exquisite images Borne from your artistes eye And as I read the words From your poetic quill Turning each page slowly Gives me a wondrous thrill This darling little book From my newly found soul sister Even though we’ve never met I feel that I already know her Was it from another life Or on another planet Did you have a different name As angels sing we meet again... Written 28th February 2020 Dedicated to a special friend… Contest Strand Choice D Sponsor Brian Strand 3rd Place

Yes sadly I do now, although mostly I enjoy where I live, which is right by the sea, and as you say I have good friends that are so precious to me. Yes it truly was a lovely gift and one I will treasure. Thanks for your welcome visit dear S.O. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
